Updated Drivers / Proper OpenGL Support for T400/T500 Models with Switchable Graphics

Dear Lenovo, Dear interested users,
when will an updated switchable graphics driver for Windows Vista (and also Win7, they are both quite outdated) finally be available? The drivers are completely outdated!
With the current driver for Windows Vista (Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160C) only a fraction of OpenGL extensions are supported:
The internal Intel GMA 4500MHD can only Handle OpenGL 1.1 (instead of OpenGL 2.1 it is certified for). Therefore most applications needing OpenGL won't run.
The dedicated ATI Radeon 3470 only supports OpenGL 2.1 (instead of OpenGL 3.1 it is certified for).
You can verify this behavior with the utility "OpenGL Extensions Viewer".
I hope Lenovo didn't close the chapter switchable graphics for T400/T500 systems. It would be a shame for a company claiming to be a leader in business computing to deliver such poor driver-support.
In hopeful expectance of updated drivers,
Patrick

I'm having the same problems. Is anyone reading this?

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

Will the October update to Speedgrade bring support for Blackmagic Playback

I was wandering if the October update to Speedgrade would bring support for Blackmagic or AJA playback cards. Since it will use the Mercury playback engine it should support these cards right?

At the moment Mercury Transmit supports cards for Aja, Matrox and Bluefish.

Drivers not being injected for certain Laptop model

Hi all
I am having difficulty getting a new laptop to deploy correctly. I am using MDT 2012 U1.
I use the DriverGroup001 variable to set the driver group and inject the specific drivers required, and this works perfectly for 10 other models. However we recently acquired some Dell Latitude E7240's and am experiencing a weird problem.
When deploying from our Production share, the drivers are not injected in the PE stage. However I have tried to deploy the same laptop using our completely separate test network and the drivers are deployed correctly. I have also created a separate test
share on our live network (with the same customsettings.ini) and the drivers deploy correctly here as well?! I have placed the drivers in a selection profile to specifically target them during deployment and they are still not injected. Inluding the drivers
in the PE image has also not worked.
So I have narrowed the problem down (I think) to a particular MDT share. I've deleted all the drivers in this share and readded the 7240 drivers with no luck. I've closed the share, rebooted the server and added the drivers with still no luck.
Looking at the logs I can see why I think it is failing, here are the relevant sections:

Support for C 'n' Q with CG-revision Athlon 64

Recently I bought a MSI K8T FSR motherboard and an Athlon 64 3000+, CG-revision. The new system is very stable and fast, the processor seems to be correctly identified, the only problem is Cool and Quiet isn't working.
I've installed clean copy's of Windows XP and Windows 2000, installed all latest software (corecenter etc), biosses and drivers, configured power management in Windows and enabled the feature in the bios, installed the special processor driver/software but still the clockspeed seems to be locked. The AMD cpuinfo tool and the msi corecenter both report a constant clockspeed of 2000 Mhz when run in Windows 2000 and a constant speed of 1600Mhz when run in XP. Heavy benchmarking or let the pc idling for 15 minutes, clockspeeds won't change. The constant 1600 Mhz reading in Xp is especially starnge, according the to AMD whitepaper this isn't a speedstepping for the processor, it should be switching between 1000/1800/2000Mhz. (see http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/30430.pdf , page 9, at column ADA3000AEP4AR)
In the release notes, it says support for the CG-revision of the processor is added in the last bios version, but C 'n' Q for Cg is still to come?
In a dutch forum, I'm not the only one encountering this problem, so I suspect it's not a standalone case.
The other hardware in my system, just for the reference: zalman 7000A cooler, nexus 3000 psu, 40 GB maxtor harddisk, geforce 2 MX, 512 MB PC3200 Kingston mem.

That worked! I went to the AMD site you mentioned, more specifically, this page, and downloaded the last program on the bottom of the page. After a restart, vwaa-la! 800 MHz! Never thought I'd be so happy to see my new machine run slower than my old machine.
Anyway, it works now... thanks for the help ... hope you get yours working too.

Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for Windows-x86 Problem with Cs6,air3.4.

While compiling my application on Flash CS6 with Air for iOS 3.4, I am getting the error given below:
The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for Windows-x86.
I am using vibration.ane file which got it from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html)
Anybody out there who knows how to solve this problem!
Thanks.

1) The vibration ANE from Adobe does not support Windows.
2) The iOS simulator (adl) is not a virtual machine but rather it is a native Windows app, thus the platform your app runs on is Windows not iOS.
What Adobe needs to do to avoid confusing everyone is one of two things:
1) Include a stub for Windows (and MacOS) in the Vibration ANE.
2) Make it possible to deploy an app to a platform where the ANE is not supported, but produce a runtime error upon an attempt to use the ANE. The developer could then put logic in the app to detect the underlying platform and make adjustments.

Support for Windows CE devices with StrongArm

Will there be support for the Windows CE devices with the StrongArm processor (like the Compaq iPaq) in Oracle Lite?
Peter Bakker

Which version of Oracle Lite are you on ?
You must be talking about a Windows Mobile 5.0
device. If yes, then Oracle Lite 10.2.0.2.0 and later
should work on that.I appreciate your help Vino on my issue.
You're right, i meant a windows mobile 5.0 device. What i'm confused about is that, i have oracle lite 10g Release 2 installed on my machine however i don't find in the cabinet packages an installer for windows mobile 5.0 device. Should i use the cab file for SDK420? or there is a specific cab file for windows mobile 5.0?
One last question. Do we have two version of Oracle lite 10g Release 2 (one is 10.2.0.1.0 and the other is 10.2.0.2.0)?
Again thanks a lot Vino :)

Lte support for lumia 1520 model in india

hi,
am planning to buy the lumia 1520 here in india.
What is the model number [ rm 937 or rm 938 or rm 939 or rm 940 ] of the model sold officially in india ?
does this model have support for 4g/lte networks, irrespective of the fact that carriers in india currently do not offer 4g/lte networks ?
is it true that even if the model has 4g/lte support, it is disabled for sale in india ?
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi hardisk88,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
The RM model compatible with India is RM-937. The phone supports LTE frequency bands, however your network provider should also support this service to enjoy LTE connections using your Lumia 1520 in India. Here's the supported LTE frequency bands: LTE bands: 2100, 1800, 2600, 900, 200.
Hope this helps.

T61: Updated Power Management from 3.11a to 3.12, lost switchable graphics?

With 3.11a installed, I could select between energy saving or high performance with the battery meter on the taskbar. I just updated and now the option is no longer there. What happened?
T61 6459-CTO, Intel C2D (Merom) T7500 @ 2.2GHz, 4GB DDR2, Win7x64Pro

Hi,
I'm a bit confused. So your system does not support Switchable graphics but you want to use it.
Sorry really not sure about this.
I have a T400 with Vista for testing and I can see this option in BIOS and also in OS. So this is the propper work.
For your situation I'm really not sure, what you mean exactly.
I would appreciate a description, if possible.
Sorry , but I just don't get it, what you are looking for
Cheers

Hi tt_ttf,
I did a quick test on the T400 with switchable GPU... Upgraded video driver to 8.792.50, PM to 3.64 and PM Driver to 1.64... Rebooted the laptop several times during installation then switch to energy saver then high performance GPU several times and it worked fine ...
Can you try uninstalling the GPU driver and see if it helps?

OpenGL Support for Satellite L650

Oh no- new update and still no support for my panasonic lumix dmc-lx2-

sorry, but i was writing several support-mails and hoped so much, that this new camera could be supported. no way.
how can it be, that the »Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1« is supported, but the dmc-lx2 not? are the raws different?
i don't get it…
iMac 20'' Intel 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Titanium 550, some iPods

Read the slightly newer topic by Pat Gilmour "Lumix DMC-LX1 RAW......" and you can see it is feasible, if not convenient. Note that for the LX2 you have to follow the instructions for the LX1 but write LX2 instead. It works a beauty for me

Any updates on email encryption support for non-BES users?

Hi,
Given BlackBerry tends towards business users, when can we expect the nearly mandatory feature of encrypted email?? I know it is available with BES, but for the rest of the world who do not have BES, when can expect encryption?
S/MIME is essential and PGP is nice to have in my case.
Every other phone on the market can do this, so come on BlackBerry don't force me to sell my lovely Passport. I love it but if you are never going to do encryption it will have to go. I'm a business user and you are forcing me to Android or iOS just for this simple feature.
Thanks

Your CIO is asking the wrong question. What about FireWire ports? What about AirDrop? However, if you need to go through the motions of placating him, search for "Removing USB Support Software" in this document:

Update: e-mail of support for my "not responding" dysfunction disappeared please resend. Problem now worse

I am not technical, and am too busy to wade through technical reports with instructions I don't understand.Please - my system is now almost useless. I need support. Otherwise i'll have to abandon Thunderbird mozilla and that will be a transition I would prefer to not have to endure, and I do not like Google, which is where I have to go. My system is slow
